My exams will start next week. I'm not nervous but I do have the word REVISE on the brain. :lol:

So anyone else have exams coming soon? :)

I'm doing most of my exams early, therefore I have around ten exams in the space of three months - I'm nervous. I never finish the exam papers and my time management skills are rubbish, therefore there is no structure to my revision and it gets left until the last couple of days before the exam, which just adds to the anxiety I feel about the exams.

My 4 finals are this week. I've done 2 already, and I have the last 2 tomorrow and saturday. My Multivariable Calculus final was on Monday and it went really bad. Bad enough that I'm actually worried about my grade in that class.

You never know. Sometimes you may think you've done terrible in one exam and fantastic in another and your results come out as the opposite of what you thought. :) Good luck in the rest of your finals.

Thank you! There were two parts: No calculator and calculator allowed.

The no calculator part was more important than the part with calculator.

After, I had lunch.

I finished mine last week, I'm very glad the semester is over. I know I've made 3 A's and 1 B so far, I'm waiting on one more grade.

I just completed my last exam a few hours ago. Now I just have to turn in a portfolio for one of my classes tomorrow and I will be done for the semester.

Mine aren't for another three weeks or so, but I find final exams to be the easiest time of the school year. Just show what you've learned in the class, no extra work or anything. For me, exams always seem to turn out okay, even when I didn't do so great in the class.

I'm finishing my A-Levels this year, and I have my first exam on the 24th of May (then I have 9 more to go, and they finish on the 29th of June). I'm extremely worried about them because my work this year has not been as intense (even though quite substantial) and has not been organised or approached as effectively as it could have been. Also in places I've developed a fear of trying to see where I went wrong, because I've gotten so bloody sick of school that learning things seems to be quite difficult unless it's a topic that's right up my street. I also don't like when other people point out my mistakes when I didn't ask for any criticism. Does anybody else not like unrequested criticism?

For me, this year has been anxiety-ridden and I'm also suffering from learning fatigue. I just can't wait to go to university!

With regards to my exams, I think some of them are going to go very well (i.e. Maths and Further Maths) and others will be reasonable (e.g. Physics) whilst I'm worried about Chemistry. I've also got pressure to get 3 A grades to meet my offer from the University of Exeter, who are also offering me a scholarship. If I miss out on that, I'll feel like an idiot.
